This excellent film, which rivals mainstream's Memento for
complexity, will undoubtedly receive plenty of pre-noms come
November, including Best Film, Director, Screenplay,
Supporting Actress (Violet Blue) and one or two sex scenes -
but it's a connoisseur's movie whose investment pays off well
in drama and emotion.

There are three main storylines: Actress Holly Hollywood's
relationship with director/husband Alec Metro - though
they're both sexually liberated, he's a control freak, and
she eventually chafes under his jealousy and infidelities;
the abduction of Eric Masterson's mail-order bride Dasha;
and, tying the whole movie together, housewife Violet Blue's
online affair with Metro, which contributes to the break-up
of his marriage. There's also an essential subplot linking
Metro's chauffeur, Tony Tedeschi's girlfriend, Rebecca Love,
to the kidnappers.

By far, the best actress here is Blue, whose marriage to cop
Rod Fontana is a study in ennui - he can't even satisfy her
sexually - until she discovers Metro on the Internet,
willingly following his orders to prostitute herself and,
later, be his consort at an orgy. The title's implied message
may be obscured by the intricacies of the plot, but viewers
will savor the excellent performances and several volcanic
sexual moments among the 11 sex scenes.
